Application filed August 6, 1917. Serial No. 184,724.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WALTER S. DOOLITTLE, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Sioux Falls, in county of Minnehaha aiid State ofSouth Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inPhoto-Cases, of which the following is a specification.

his invention ing devices.

The invention aims to provide an improved case for preserving andexhibiting photos, reading matter, etc.

Another object of the invention is the production of a print exhibitingand preserving relates to picture exhibitcase particularly adapted to becarried in the pocket and embodying certain novel features ofconstruction and arrangement of parts whereby a printed sheet may beinstantl y inserted or removed within and from the case.

Still another object of the invention i the production of an improvedprint exhibiting and preserving pocket case inexpensive in productionand thoroughly dependable in use.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consisting of theconstruction,

combination and novel arrangement of parts ing description referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings which form a part ofthisapplication and in which like characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts throughout both views, of which Figure l is a frontelevation of the device constructed in accordance with the invention;and

Fig. 2 i a transverse section of the same.

The invention contemplates a case including two disks adapted to beplaced face to face and between which a photo or other printed sheet maybe interposed, at least one of the disks being transparent to reveal thesheet. The disks are encircled by a retaining rim of elastic materialhaving an annular groove to receive the edges of the disks to hold thedisks in proper position and prevent the entrance of both moisture anddust.

Referring, now, to the illustrations 3, represents the rim which isendless preferably of rubber and circular in cross-section. -The rim isprovided with an internal annular groove, 4, which inoloses the edges ofthe transparent disks, 5, between which is inter- 65 posed an exhibitsheet 6. The disks are preferably externally beveled as at 7, tofacilitate the mounting and demounting of the rim.

Obviously. one of the disks may be a inirror if desired or both may betransparent to reveal two photos placed back to back between the disks.The rim being of rubber or other elastic material, it holds the disksfirmly against displacement and prevents the entrance of foreignmaterial between the disks.

To mount and necessary to spring one edge thereof, the disk.

Having thu described my invention, what claim as new and desire tosecure by Let ters Patent of the United States is,-

An article of the class described comprising two disks adapted to beplaced face to face, and an endless elastic rim adapted to be stretchedover and inclose the edges of the disks, whereby the disks and rim maybe readily separated or assembled.

2. An article of the class described comprising two disks adapted to beplaced face to face, and an endless rim of elastic mate rial having aninternal annular groove to receive the edges of the disks, the disks andrim being so related that the latter may be stretched over and from thedisks, whereby the rim and disks may be readily separated or assembled.

In testimony whereof, I hereunto set my hand this 2nd day of August,1917.
